Some years ago, the Enrique Mendoza winery faced the challenge of growing Pinot Noir, the world's most glamorous red grape, in the sunny lands of southeastern Spain.

The result is Enrique Mendoza Pinot Noir. A highly unlikely, refreshingly unpretentious and, most importantly, quite successful match of Burgundy with the Mediterranean.

Meticulously harvested, the grapes of this red wine from Alicante were selected and destemmed in the cellar.

Then they were fermented in stainless steel tanks under a strict temperature control.

Finally, this Spanish red wine from Alicante was aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels from Allier.

Drink Enrique Mendoza Pinot Noir 2017 from now until 2022.
